Flemish term

lege bakken

Flemish to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Online orders/logistics
This appears in a list of software strings. As it appears to be related to Belgium, I'm assuming this is Flemish. It seems to be something to do with boxes, but Flemish is not one of my working languages.


"Albarán Bélgica
Bac vide\: biere, eau, limonade, lege bakken
Cant. gratuita
EUR-pallet/EURO H1 pallet, 1200x800"
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 Empty crates

@Michael Was about to post "stacking crates" myself, but I see you got there first! Thanks for the help, it's all useful.
Michael Beijer Dec 18, 2018:
hmm bottle bin?
bottle crate?
bottle box?

seems they are often referred to as 'stacking crates'

see e.g.:

flessenbakken not sure what these are called in English, but these ‘bakken’ refer to ‘flessenbakken’

Ah, I see! Not sure, but the French could be off if it's from Belgium.
Note from asker:
Thanks a lot! I'm only supposed to be translating ES-EN, but sometimes i get snippets of Italian and French mixed in with it like this, and I can usually handle that, but Flemish/Dutch are beyond my grasp.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Beijer : I was overthinking things, as usual. 'empty crates', of course ;-)

Or crates of empty bottles (when you buy drinks by the crate).
agree writeaway : a bac is a crate in French. nothing "off"(or particularly Belgian) about the French
